You could catch her withinthe palms of your hands;If you’re fast enough,maybe..But why would you?She’s a hummingbird. You could trap her withina gardenof the most colourfulflowers ever;And watch her levitate busilyfrom one to the next,always within sight.. But why would you?She’s a hummingbird! She disappears into theHibiscuses and reemergesfrom the Petunias,as if she concealssecret skills… Read More
I am tired. Of wanting things Having things Then not having them. Missing people Only to meet them And realise They’re not the same Anymore. Going places Only to reach there And realise you must Head back Just as soon. And not being able to change Things that matter And things that don’t. Above all… Read More
Everything just fell apart and everything just fell away.. As bit by bit, I toiled away; building my dream. Heeding the call of a higher purpose; At first, it stuck.. to me Then I stuck to it. In the end, it is all that remained. And shall always.. Long after I’m gone and the flesh… Read More
It hurts right now But it won’t hurt forever. To carry your broken heart within a broken body that can take no more; It can still be done. It still can, even though you’re hurting beyond measure. Tough times must come upon them; Those life seeks to toughen, beyond the ordinary. Aye! building upwards atop… Read More
What if this, is all there is? What if this.. is as good as it gets? What if this is as far, you were meant to be; And everything that you ever dreamed about for the future, were memories; Being carried on from a past life. A past where, you had it all. A life… Read More
Your fixation with Getting ‘there’.. Is what’s keeping you From enjoying Where you are. It’s what’s keeping you From finding joy, Doing what you do. Reaching your goals, Happens automatically. It happens effortlessly, Once you begin To savour The long walk… Leading you there. Photo & Poem: © Jay Kaushal

Around every corner lies beauty surreal, waiting to meet your eyes. Yet your eyes never meet; They never look up, from your smartphone. © Jay Kaushal Read More
She ain’t just a girl, She’ the girl. She’s a flame. Enigma. She’s like fire, Floating on Tender ornate wings Of a butterfly; Fluttering past you In the summer. She’s broken a many hearts And had her heart broken too, One too many times. You want her, Like they all do.. But you can’t have… Read More
A swan, Paddles away Furiously Beneath the surface. Just to stay Afloat. Nothing else. Yet you, Can only Percieve White floating grace; Ripples nor Sound. Flawless, Utopian elegance. And you, Can’t imagine Madness Behind the scenes; Hard at work. Persevering, Constant struggle. The facade Of perfection; Unstable. Control, no control; Infinite cycles, intersecting.. Culminating.. Every… Read More

A while ago, fellow blogger Apple Rae tagged me to answer these questions below. I have been wanting to answer them from some time but boy! have I been busy. I’ve barely been able to keep up with my blogging schedule and firefight all the other areas of my life that are fast transforming. But… Read More
Don’t be afraid, For the storm will pass; And the morning breeze Will come knocking, again On the window. Dont be afraid; For the clouds, will part For the sun; And the thunder would be long gone, Like the rain. Dont be afraid Of the wolves at the door. If you can make it Till… Read More
When someone wants To walk away, Just let them. When someone wants To leave, knowing How much you Really need them; Just let them. The problem is You can’t see, That the one Walking away, is; So you have One less distraction To deal with. One less detractor To criticise, your Beliefs and ideas. One… Read More
Love, hate, longing, losing, discovering ourselves through each other… I’ve felt all this and not, at times; but then, again. I know all about these feelings. Yet all I know is that I keep falling in love.. with you, and then I keep getting back up, again. © Jay Kaushal If you liked this poem,… Read More

Oh look the summer’s here. The sun is shining, In the freshness of A Sky blue hue. Soft green grass Laid out for you Like a carpet Of welcome To rest Your weary soul. Bees humming Sparrows chirping The cuckoo singing In delight. The winter was dreary With the trees All stripped naked But look… Read More
